Im definately gonna wait a little while for the reviews to be out. Can't do much in the coming weeks anyways. Mobo isnt out. By the time mobo comes out I have finals, then im moving apartments and then I'll be outta town about 3 weeks. So I prolly have about a month before I can start on this machine
Also, theres the H20-220 kit which may be more silent. I'm gonna wait to see wut the tests say.

Not too sure about that. I mean both drives go for around $100(160GB Samsung, 200GB WD). The extra 40 gigs would cost me about $45-50 in terms of another drive (current prices on newegg, although I could prolly get it for 20 bucks on good day). I should be able to find a good hard drive enclosure for that much. Plus I really need the extra space. Theres a "quiet" version of the WD drive, 2000BB.
Has anyone ever used that?
